Three-dimensional display and display method thereof

Abstract

A three-dimensional (3D) display including a display panel and a phase retardation film is provided. The display panel has a plurality of first pixel regions and a plurality of second pixel regions that are arranged as an array. The phase retardation film is disposed on the surface of the display panel. The phase retardation film has a plurality of first retardation regions and a plurality of second retardation regions that are alternately arranged. The first retardation regions have the same phase retardation, the second retardation regions have the same phase retardation, and the phase retardation of the first retardation regions is different from that of the second retardation regions. All the regions of the phase retardation film have the same transmittance. A display method adaptable to the 3D display is also provided.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONThis application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 99106609, filed on Mar. 8, 2010. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of specification.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the InventionThe present invention generally relates to a display and a display method thereof, and more particularly, to a three-dimensional (3D) display and a display method thereof.2. Description of Related ArtPeople have been increasing their demand both materially and spiritually along with the development of technologies. Spiritually, people want to visualize their wild imagination through display devices so as to achieve the most vivid experience. Thus, how to present three-dimensional (3D) images or videos through display devices has become a major objective in display device development. According to the operating principle of an existing 3D display, a phase re...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

As described above, the present invention provides a 3D display and a display method thereof, wherein an image displayed by the display panel is converted into an image with 3D information by using the first retardation regions and the second retardation regions of the phase retardation film that have different phase retardations, so that a 3D image can be presented to a user through a pair of head goggles. On the other hand, because the first retardation regions and the second retardation regions of the phase retardation film that have different phase retardations have the same transmittance and no light-blocking component (for example, a black matrix) is disposed, a high brightness and a wide viewing angle range can be achieved by the 3D display and the display method thereof in the present invention while 2D images are displayed.

Problems solved by technology

However, in order to prevent the light provided by the pixel regions from passing through incorrect phase retardation regions and accordingly presenting an incorrect image to the user, a black matrix has to be disposed between the two types of phase retardation regions of the phase retardation film.
